trailtwister's blog: I'm stumped and I did this for a living at one time.

I have a power antenna on the 1985 Buick right front fender. It doesn't go up and down when you turn the radio on and off.
Untill I unplug the power from it the motor kept running because it needs the mast to move the contacts in the relay. That also helps a person to know why the antenna will not go up or go down. Cable is broken that pulls the atenna down and pushes it up.
Is really a easy fix once you are able to get the atenna from where ever it is located in my case behind the inter fender panal on the right side behind the tire and wheel.

I have all the bolts and screws removed and I still can't get that panal out. I have googled it with no luck I have you tubed it again with no luck. I am beginning to think there is some molded nails on the panal you just can't see and have to figure out where they are and pull them. Nails can be just a simple spear with a bunch of barbs to catch and hold.

I think today I will visit a friend who has a body shop and see if he know how to do it. That atenna has to go all the way down before painting the car.


Shame people don't make comments. I started this blog at the request of a poster but don't leave comments here so this may be the last post as I feel like I am just a raving lunatic talking to myself since no one replies.
I don't like feeling like that.
